Ingredients
  

topping

  • cup sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baker's Sprinkles or your favorite baking spices
  • 1/4 cup pecans toasted and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted

filling

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

batter

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon Baker's Sprinkles or your favorite baking spices
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

topping

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8" square pan or 9" round pan. Alternately you may use muffin tins, loaf pans or mini loaf pans. I like to line my cake pans or loaf pans with parchment paper, with a bit of an edge of extra paper to lift baked goods out of the pans.
    To make the topping, whisk together the sugar, salt, flour, spices and pecans.  Stir in butter to combine and set aside.

filling

  • To make the filling, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder.  Set aside. 

batter

  •  
    For the cake, beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, spices and baking powder until smooth.  Add the flour and salt and stir to blend.  Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan (s), spreading it all the way to the edges.  Sprinkle the filling evenly over the batter.  Spread remaining batter on top of filling. Using a knife, gently swirl the filling into the batter to marble it in.  Sprinkle the topping over the batter.  Bake until the cake is light brown on top and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes for cake pans, 20-25 minutes for muffins or loaves, depending on size.  Remove cake from oven and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
